[Taz-in-Space]

200 for sergeant. I know this doesn't help YOU, but the privates might like to know http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Me too! I lost Rank when they changed the board.

Ok, another rank padding joke...

A bum walks into the park to take a nap and sees two people sitting on his favorite bench. So he sits down on the end of the bench. The stench from him is so bad that one by one the other two leave.

The morale of this story is:
.

RANK has it's privlages.

"Ratings matter"...

A know of a saying... It's not how many Posts you can post on a forum... It's about how good of ranking you can get.

Oh wait... or was it: It's the thought that counts.

It's one of those. I don't know which though.

[DocShane]

If I am right, this post should boost me to Corporal.

[DocShane]

Shoot, I thought I was having a good night. After all I got rated, can't I get promoted? What's it take on this forum? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

[DocShane]

Hot dog! Now I AM a 5 star corporal! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Baron Grazic]

Bloody somebody just rated me.
Now why would annyone do something like that?

[Suicide Junkie]

Under the original ranking system, I was a "National Security Advisor" a few months ago.

Richard had to stretch out the ranking system, and that demoted everybody a rank or two, and took me down to a lowly General.

My current title "SpecOps" is based on Moderator status.

In order and with the psedo-odd junk removed:

0 = Private
51 = Corporal
200 = Sergeant
400 = Second Lieutenant
600 = First Lieutenant
800 = Captain
1000 = Major
1250 = Lieutenant Colonel
1500 = Colonel
1750 = Brigadier General
2000 = Major General
2500 = Lieutenant General
3000 = General
3500 = National Security Advisor
4000 = Ruler of the World

Edit: NOW in order.

LOL thanks, was just pullin' a chain http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Suicide Junkie]

I think there needs to be more ranks in between General and National Security Advisor.
I'm only 68 away from Ruler of the World as is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Richard]

In case your curious the odd junk is the actual code that is in the config file for UBB.

[Baron Grazic]

Why is a Lieutenant lower than a Major but a Major General lower than a Lieutenant General?
Which Military designed these silly ranks?

400 = Second Lieutenant
600 = First Lieutenant
800 = Captain
1000 = Major
1250 = Lieutenant Colonel
1500 = Colonel
1750 = Brigadier General
2000 = Major General
2500 = Lieutenant General <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">

[Wardad]

They could be using the US Navy ranks.

Anyone want to be a Rear Admiral Lower Half?

[kalthalior]

Just be glad we're using US ranks, Baron. How'd you like to be a Colonel-General or have a Field Marshall rank thrown in? Personally, I look forward to my upcoming Corporal-ness.

[ September 11, 2002, 18:10: Message edited by: kalthalior ]

[Skulky]

what is the deal with the lower half thing and rear admiral, i've never heard of a upper half rear admiral or more importantly a forward admiral. Just wondering (and posting), I think God shoudl be set so that only one person can ever be god at one time, or create several different gods, like Ares, Mars, Athena, Buddha, throw in some Norse too!

That's cause "old" threads don't update automatically. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif There is usually a slight delay.

Hey! Four stars is good. Anyone can get five stars, but maintaining four ain't so easy.

Just curious: is there any way to change a ranking that you have made?

I can't seem to find any place to do that.

I think he was talking about changing the rank you gave someone else. Like say I gave you a 5 star rating. But later you were mean to me (this is all hypothetical http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) and I wanted to change that 5 star rating I gave you to a 3 or 4 star. If I'm not mistaken that is what he was referring to. I could mistaken as well though.

On another note. Hypothetical is a big word for me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Haha... thanks everybody who rated me 5 stars. The people who said they rated me 5 stars have been rewarded with also 5 stars.
